Reply to comment by eloel- in ELI5: Why does it seem as if most every day use items have carcinogens or other chemicals that can harm or kill you? by thedl894
If you wanted an all-natural lifestyle, you'd have to live in a cave and kill your dinner with a club. Even then, the smoke from the cooking fire might get you.

Why are the options "unhealthy" and "all natural"? What makes "all natural" inherently healthy, or man-made inherently unhealthy? As far as I can tell, half the things in nature would fuck up a human if we ate them, so I don't think the divide is where you think it is.

Nobody bothers to count that. How long would it take before we noticed that carrots were as dangerous as cigarettes if they were?
